Missy Campau, ESR Costume Collective; When it comes to theatre, having the right costume is important. Missy has taken over management of the amazing collection of costumes ESR and company have collected over the years. Need a munk's robe? She's got it. Need a 1980's prom dress? She's got it. Need a pillbox hat from the early 1960's? She's got it. Need a set of tattered suspenders to hang from a zombie gravedigger circa 1865? She's got it. ESR is very happy to say, we've got her.

Marisa is now expanding her theatre experience by helping others acquire some of the experiences she has had, being the daughter of a crazy theatre lady for her entire time on the planet. Enter Stage Right, look out, there's a party to be had, and you just might learn something along the way. Fun fact......
Aaron Rose Master Electrician
Aaron has been lurking in the quiet shadows as a part of ESR since 2011. Although Aaron doesn’t play onstage with us, his contributions can't be listed on a single page of a web site (that he helped put together). Aaron's to do list for ESR: -3:00 AM Friday morning, hanging from a scaffold installing lights, check. - 6:00 PM Sunday afternoon, rushing to put together ticket pages so people can purchase online, check. - 8:30 PM during Hamlet rehearsal, shoveling gravel in the parking lot so the fire marshall will approve the ramp put in for occupancy, check. - 11:00 AM Saturday afternoon, trip to Lansing to make sure the crazy sound guy buys the right PA equipment, check. And on, and on, and on. ESR is very lucky to have such a talented recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from Lawrence Tech on our staff.
Jeanine (or J-Nine) started her involvement with ESR upstairs in the tech heavy experience that was Reveries of OZ. Her partner in crime (Sean) has been in theatre for years, so Jeanine thought, what the hey, why not. Aaaaand she was hooked. Jeanine now can be found stage managing, doing lights, running sound, putting together sets, or really anything else that needs to be done in a theatre. The Citadel, the Riverbank, the Barn, she has worked in them all. Enter Stage Right feels particularly honored and grateful that she has decided to lend her talents to managing our house and making sure everything is kept in order. Particularly our co-house manager, someone really needs to keep an eye on him and there's no one better for that job than J-Nine!
Carly Verbeke Grant Writer
Giggly. Yep, giggly. At 10 years old Carly's smile, and the giggles, put life into some of the very first ESR productions. Now 10 years later Carly continues to give to ESR on stage and off through her position as grant writer. Carly is taking on some of the largest institutions in the country, pen in her hand and a message of education and growth through theatre in her heart. Grant writing can be a tedious endeavor, good news is that giggling can break the tension and make it fun. If you listen close enough, we bet you can hear her giggling right now. ESR is so very excited to have such a talented young person working on funding to keep our theatre growing and prosperous.
